The point I wanted to communicate was that some majors are just perceived by employers to be less relevant to their field. Hence, students in those majors have an added burden of needing to be extra aware, as well as smart, about what employers might perceive about their competitiveness so they can communicate their major’s worth and relevant skill sets to employers who may not immediately recognize it.

Majors that foster one’s passion, promote critical thinking and creativity are not ones to avoid. Interdisciplinary education is a great trend in education right now where students are combining left brain and right brain fields of study. So, I was sad that my thoughts on exactly the issue you talk about, which I shared in the interview and are similar to yours, did not make it into the final article.

If anything, I believe that the world would benefit from more business people who also see the world through the eyes of an architect, artist, philosopher, archaeologist, anthropologist, and film-maker.
